DNC in NYC for a week

10 April '11: DNC just got back from a week in New York City, with 17 students of the Nottingham Uni. Here's a picture of most of us in front of the Apple store in Fifth Avenue, at the south end of Central Park. We flew out American airlines, and lived in a small hostel on 337 55th St, very near to Broadway and Times Square... an easy walk to MOMA and Central Park.  I have posted a LOT of photos on Facebook!
First day was a Columbus Circle, Lincoln Ctr, Dakota, Central Park, Guggenheim, then south again to Fifth Avenue, Rockefeller ctr finishing at the Empire State.
Second was to the south end of Manhattan - Woolworth, World Trade Ctr, Battery Park, Skyscraper museum, Statue of Liberty, and finishing at Pier 17.
Third day was Midtown - MOMA, Park Avenue, Chrysler, Bryant Park, a seminar with KPF, and then off to do out own things. This was all a punishing schedule for the poor old feet.
Fourth day was to Chelsea and then Greenwich village. After that I took myself up to the Planetarium and then further north to Harlem. Finished the day with a good look round the Metropolitan museum.
Fifth day, I took an excursion to Washington DC with Thao on a chinese bus company. We only managed to see bits of Washington by taking a rather frantic taxi ride around the sights, as the tour company seemed to think we would be happy seeing nothing but the Jefferson Monument.
Sixth day was our last, and I did a bit of shopping at MOMA, then it was time to get the Subway to the airport... my feet were very relieved!
